Tristan Jeffery was 31 when he was shot on the evening of Labor Day, September 5, 2022, in Kansas City, Missouri. Reports of gunfire first came in around 6:15 p.m. near 16th Street and Oakley Avenue; a second emergency call led officers to the 5600 block of East 17th Street, where a vehicle was found containing a critically wounded man later identified as Jeffery. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

A second person wounded in the same incident arrived at a hospital in a private vehicle and survived in stable condition. Investigators believe the shooting occurred at the 16th and Oakley location before the victims moved to where they were found. Police examined the vehicle and cordoned off parts of East 17th Street while detectives canvassed for witnesses and searched for forensic evidence such as fingerprints or ballistics.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been reported; the case remains an open homicide. Jeffery, known by nicknames including Pooh Bear and Mista, is survived by his mother and children. Does anyone who was in the West Blue Valley area that evening have information that could help investigators?
